Baseball Shows on XM

[Baseball Guru]

Since we had a thread on what we thought on the BBTN crew I was wondering that those that have Xm radio, if you listen to the baseball channel on 175 and who some of your favorite personalities are?


Some of the shows include:

Baseball This Morning with Mark Patrick and Buck Martinez

Baseball Beat with Charley Steiner

The Show with Dibble and Kennedy

MLB Live with Ronnie Lane

MLB Live late Edition with Joe Castellano

MLB Live Weekend with Holden Kushner

Fantasy Focus with Jeff Erickson

Ripken Baseball with Cal and Billy


Which ones do you like from this group?


My favorite is the Morning show as I really enjoy listening to Patrick and Buck..

I also like Lane and Kushner as well as the Fantasy show..

The Steiner show gets some real good guests but I have a hard time listening to Steiner for more than an hour... His voice just irritates me:)

My favorite shows are Baseball Beat with Steiner and MLB Live with Castellano. The fantasy show is good, but I rarely manage to listen to it. The morning show is decent, somewhat entertaining (I prefer Mike and Mike on ESPN Radio). I find that Dibble and Kennedy are largely mediocre.

I like Charlie Steiner's program because of the shifts to different cities. The show feels like they're just having a conversation we just happen to be listening to. I also like Joe Castellano.

I'm not big on Ronnie Lane, he doesn't have the baseball knowledge of a lot of the other hosts. Orel Herschiser (sp) really took him to task on an interview that was just embarassing.

I listen to "The Show" with Dibble and Kennedy, but get really tired of it. If you don't agree with Dibble, you're an idiot, because he played the game and you didn't. Oh, and if you didn't know George W. Bush hired Kevin Kennedy, who also happened to manage Roger Clemens. If you don't hear that at least once an hour from both hosts, you probably aren't listening. Ha-Ha. The other thing that bugs me about Dibble is that he changes his opinion a lot -- I still remember him constantly ragging on call-ins, that "Pitchers wouldn't do steroids", he was telling caller after caller that they didn't know what they were talking about -- then where are we now? More pitchers caught than any position player. At the start of the steroid business, Dibble "never saw anyone do steroids when he was playing", but if you listen to him now, he knew guys that were using steroids. The last bit of this small rant on "The Show" is that the guys never criticize the players -- if the player is active, you won't hear a bad thing about them, they're all "Good guys".
